Life until Death

Staring at a setting sun a beautiful scene
Leaving the fading glow of rays
As across mountains it hides itself
Marking the end of another day

Enjoy the view for what it is
Respect all the gifts presented so warm
Though the sunset can be copied 
It can’t be possessed in any form 

Cherish those moments for they are sacred
They can never be stolen from your thoughts
Though they seem small they are supreme 
Memories though they were never sought 

Never imagining the gift you were given 
Drink up nature with every breath 
The sun’s warmth then the evening’s cool 
The best lived life still ends in death
